A/C Repair Across the Wasatch Front
Your furnace or A/C is not doing its job. We come out, find the actual cause, show you the reading and the photo, and fix it, the same visit when the part is on the truck.
What it costs
Service call, weekdays 7am–6pm
Credited toward any repair you approve, so when we do the repair you do not pay for the diagnostic.
Weeknights & weekends
The same $80 service call plus $40. Weeknights until 10pm, Saturday and Sunday all day.
Typical simpler repair
Parts and labor in one number. The final price depends on what actually failed; the largest jobs run into the low thousands.
Every furnace repair includes a carbon monoxide safety test. Every brand of furnace, central A/C and heat pump.
What happens on the visit
Call, text or book online
Usually the same day: a daytime slot if one is open, or that evening between 6 and 10pm.
We find the cause
We test the system with real instruments and find what failed. You see the reading and a photo of what we found, not just a verdict.
You get the repair price
One number for the repair, parts and labor included, with the $80 credited off it.
We fix it
Ignitors, flame sensors, capacitors, contactors, pressure switches and airflow problems are usually fixed that visit. A part that has to be ordered, like a control board or a motor, is diagnosed first and installed on a return trip.
Tested before we leave
The system runs through a full cycle and the readings are checked again.
What we bring and check
On a no-cool call
- Temperature split at the vents
- Capacitor and contactor tested against their ratings
- Compressor and fan amps against the nameplate
- Airflow, filter and coil
- Refrigerant only when a reading points at it
Good to know
We do not sell new systems
Canyon Comfort is repair-only. If the equipment is truly at the end of its life, we say so plainly, show you why, and can recommend a local installer we trust. You are free to use anyone.
Cooling while you wait on a part
If a repair has to wait on an ordered part in summer, we can set up portable A/C the same day. $150 for delivery, setup and takedown plus $20 a day.
Before we get there
If the outdoor unit is dead, pull its disconnect or set the thermostat to Fan Only. If the blower is dead, shut the system off at the thermostat. It protects the equipment until we arrive.

Questions
Do I pay the $80 if you do the repair?
No. The service call is credited toward any repair you approve. It only stands on its own if you decide not to repair.
How fast can you come?
Usually the same day you call. Weekdays 7am to 10pm, Saturday 8am to 10pm, Sunday 8am to 9pm. Nothing runs past 10pm.
Do you work on my brand?
Yes. Every brand of furnace, central air conditioner and heat pump.
What if it cannot be fixed?
We show you the readings and the photos, explain why, and put the diagnosis in writing. We do not sell replacements, so there is no sales pitch at the end of the visit.
Is a no-heat call an emergency?
Yes, treated the same as no cooling: same hours, same $80 service call, same $40 after 6pm and on weekends.
Canyon Comfort provides same-day A/C repair on all brands across the Wasatch Front and Wasatch Back, from Ogden down to Provo and Grantsville across to Heber. The diagnostic is $80 during regular weekday hours, 7am to 6pm, and that $80 is credited toward any repair you approve. Weeknight and weekend service is $120, with after-hours availability until 10pm. Most A/C repairs start around $220 for simpler fixes, with the final price depending on what actually failed. We diagnose the system by measuring airflow, temperatures, refrigerant performance, electrical components, and amp draw rather than guessing at parts. Canyon Comfort is repair-only, so if repairing the system still makes sense, that is what we recommend. If replacement is the better choice, we explain the diagnosis, walk through why, and can recommend an install company we trust.
Air conditioning repair, diagnosed by the numbers
Most warm-air calls trace to one of a handful of measurable failures. We find which one with instruments, not guesswork.
Canyon Comfort handles same-day A/C repair and air conditioning repair on every make and model across the Wasatch Front and Wasatch Back. Weeknights until 10pm and all weekend are $120 — the $80 service call plus $40 — and Sunday is the same $120. Every diagnostic runs the same sequence: we read the temperature split across the evaporator coil, check static pressure and airflow, measure superheat and subcooling on the refrigerant circuit, test each capacitor’s microfarad rating against the nameplate, and check amp draw on the compressor and the condenser fan motor. Those readings point to the actual failed component — instead of swapping parts and hoping.
Your $80 is credited toward the repair, and every fix is verified under load — temperature split and amp draw back in spec — before we leave. When a system is genuinely past its service life, we’ll show you the numbers and walk you through exactly why replacement wins. See our A/C replacement buyer’s guide for what to look for.

Common A/C repairs we do — and how we do them right
Most air conditioning repairs come down to a handful of failures. Here’s what they look like and the correct way to fix each one.
A/C won’t turn on — failed capacitor or contactor
A blown run capacitor is one of the most common reasons an air conditioner hums but won’t start, or the outdoor fan won’t spin. The contactor (the relay that sends power to the compressor and fan) also pits and burns out over time. The right air conditioning repair isn’t just swapping the part — we test the capacitor’s microfarad rating against spec, check the contactor and incoming voltage, and confirm the compressor and fan motor actually draw correct amps once power is restored, so the same failure doesn’t come right back.
A/C blowing warm air — low refrigerant or a stalled condenser fan
Warm air with the system running has two common causes. The first is low refrigerant, which almost always means a leak. The right long-term fix is to find and repair it — we locate the leak (electronic detector, bubble test, or dye), repair or replace the leaking component, pull a deep vacuum, then weigh in the exact charge and confirm superheat/subcooling are in spec. That said, if you’re planning to replace the system in the next year or two, a simple refrigerant top-off (where EPA rules allow) can be the sensible, lower-cost way to get you through — we’ll lay out both options and let you choose.
The second cause is a failed capacitor on the outdoor condenser fan motor. Many units run a single dual-run capacitor with two sides (HERM for the compressor, FAN for the condenser fan). When the fan side weakens or fails, the condenser fan stalls, the system can’t reject heat, head pressure climbs, and the air inside goes warm — often with the compressor tripping on high-pressure or thermal overload soon after. We read the capacitor’s microfarads on both terminals against the nameplate, confirm the fan and compressor draw correct amps, and replace with a correctly-rated capacitor so the fan moves air across the coil again.
Frozen evaporator coil & iced-up A/C
Ice on the indoor coil or the refrigerant line means airflow or refrigerant is off. We don’t just thaw it and leave — we trace the root cause: a dirty filter or coil choking airflow, a failing blower, or low refrigerant from a leak. We clean what’s restricting airflow, correct the charge if needed, and verify the coil stays cold without freezing, so the A/C actually cools again.
Hard-starting compressor — we install a soft start
When a compressor strains to start, draws high amps, or trips the breaker on startup, we measure winding resistance and locked-rotor versus running amps and check the start components before condemning anything. When a compressor needs starting help, we install a soft start rather than a standard hard-start kit. A soft start ramps the compressor up gradually instead of jolting it on at full force, which means far less electrical and mechanical stress, quieter starts, no light flicker or nuisance breaker trips, and a longer compressor life — it’s simply better for the equipment. If the compressor itself is failing, we’ll show you the readings and the repair-or-replace math.
Weak airflow & failing blower motor
If the air conditioning runs but barely any air comes out of the vents, the culprit is often the indoor blower motor, a failed capacitor on the blower, or a clogged coil — not your ductwork. We test the motor and its capacitor, clean the blower wheel and indoor coil where airflow is actually lost, and get full, strong airflow back so every room cools.
Clogged condensate drain & water leaks
A puddle by the furnace or a safety switch shutting the system off usually means the condensate drain is clogged. We clear the drain line, flush it, and check the pan and float switch — the float switch is what shuts the system down before the pan backs up and overflows into your furnace. We make sure the A/C drains properly so it isn’t shutting itself off.
Thermostat & control problems
Sometimes the “broken A/C” is a dead thermostat, a wiring fault, or a tripped float or safety switch. We confirm the controls and wiring before we ever recommend a part — because the cheapest air conditioning repair is the one you didn’t actually need.
We don’t call it fixed until the numbers say so
A lot of what looks like a five-minute air conditioning repair isn’t. Done right, a refrigerant repair means recovering the old charge, pulling a deep vacuum to remove every trace of moisture, brazing clean joints, weighing in the exact charge, and testing the result. Electrical repairs get verified under load. We also use an inspection camera to look inside the system — the coil, blower, and ductwork — for restrictions, blockages, and dust or debris buildup that quietly rob efficiency and air quality, so you can see what we see.
Before we consider any job complete, we measure static pressure — a reading that’s rarely checked on a service call, yet it’s the #1 hidden cause of comfort problems, high bills, and early equipment failure — along with airflow, temperature split, and amp draw, to confirm the system is actually running to spec. Then we walk you through the actual readings — so you’re not taking our word for it, you have the numbers. That documented, to-spec result is what we call a Canyon Comfort Verified Repair.

Is there A/C repair near me in Salt Lake City?
Yes — A/C repair across Salt Lake City and the whole Wasatch Front, weeknights until 10pm and all weekend, usually the same evening you call. The route runs Ogden down to Provo and Grantsville across to Coalville and Heber, so Sandy, Draper, West Jordan and Murray are all on it.
Who is the best A/C repair company in Salt Lake City?
Canyon Comfort holds a 5.0 rating on Google, is licensed and insured, is locally owned, and prices every A/C repair before the work begins. The repairs are done by a licensed technician from our own team, tested to spec before we leave, and you see the actual readings and photos from your system. When you compare companies, look for published up-front pricing and someone who recommends the repair before the replacement.
My A/C is running but blowing warm air — what is wrong?
Warm air with the system running is usually low refrigerant from a leak, a failed capacitor on the compressor or condenser fan, or a frozen evaporator coil. We measure the system to find which one it is, and if it is refrigerant we repair the leak and weigh in the correct charge. See common A/C problems and what you can do → or run our 7-point checklist before you call → If it struggles to start on hot days, a hard start kit may be worth asking about.
How much does A/C repair cost?
$80 weekdays 7am to 6pm, with $40 added weeknights until 10pm and all weekend, so $120. The $80 is credited toward the repair you approve. Most A/C repairs typically start around $220 for simpler fixes and can reach a couple thousand dollars for the largest jobs.
Do you charge extra for evening or weekend service?
Yes, a little. Weekdays 7am to 6pm are our regular $80 service call. Weeknights until 10pm and all weekend add $40, so $120.
Do you offer emergency or after-hours A/C repair?
Yes — we run emergency repair Monday through Friday from 7am to 10pm, Saturday from 8am to 10pm, and Sunday. We can usually be there the same evening. We take on multi-day repairs — the problem diagnosed completely, quoted in full, and finished by us, with a portable A/C set up so you are not waiting in the heat.
Are you a 24-hour emergency A/C repair company?
Evening and weekend A/C calls are our normal schedule — weeknights until 10pm, Saturday 8am–10pm, and Sunday 8am–9pm, at $80 weekdays 7am–6pm and $120 weeknights and weekends. We’re not a 24-hour company, and nothing runs past 10pm. If you smell gas or suspect carbon monoxide, leave and call 911 or your gas company first.
Do you fix furnaces after hours too?
Yes — a no-heat call is treated as the same kind of emergency as a no-cooling call, at the same $80 weekdays 7am to 6pm; weeknights until 10pm and the whole weekend add $40. A furnace that will not ignite, short cycles, or blows cold air gets the same instrument-based diagnosis. If a winter repair has to wait on a part, we order it immediately and come back to finish the job first thing. See furnace repair →
Do you repair all A/C brands?
Yes — every brand of central air conditioner and heat pump. The same instrument-based diagnosis applies whether the system is two years old or twenty.
Should I repair or replace my air conditioner?
It comes down to three numbers: the age of the system, the cost of the repair, and what the system costs you to run. We lay out that math with the readings to back it up. If replacement wins, we will walk you through why, and can point you toward a local install company we trust — you are free to use anyone you like. See our A/C replacement buyer’s guide.
Do you charge for the diagnostic?
The diagnostic is $80 and it is credited toward any repair you approve — so when we do the repair, you don’t pay for the diagnostic. Questions and online second opinions are free either way.
My A/C is not working at all — what should I check first?
Check three things first: the thermostat batteries and settings, the breaker, and the disconnect switch beside the outdoor unit. If all three look right, the next step is a diagnostic visit, and we quote the repair.
Why won’t my A/C turn on?
Usually a tripped breaker, a failed run capacitor, a burned contactor, or a thermostat fault. We find the exact cause during the visit with meter readings rather than guessing over the phone.
Do you do central air repair and cooling system repair for all A/C unit types?
Yes — central air systems and heat pumps used for cooling. Every A/C unit repair gets the same diagnostic and the same up-front pricing.
Need A/C repair today?
